Photographer's Note

Pigeon food seller outside one of the most iconic temples of the Patan Durbar Square – Krishna Mandir. A very lucky temple, I was pleasantly surprised to find it in such a good shape. It’s surrounded by a fence (there was no fence before) which means risk of rubble falling from the walls and the roof but, as you can see, local people still visit to worship their gods.

In WS, another architectural survival story. Just to show how sentimental I feel about Nepal…

Hello Kasia,
I can't detect any damage from this distance, but maybe there are cracks that can't be seen from here. A very lucky temple indeed. It's a beautiful building, also with the pillar in front of it, and the many people and pigeons make the photo lively. Very nice workshops too. It's good to see that destruction was not total.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Kasia
An interesting and informative narrative supported by an impressive capture of this beautiful place of worship which still stand tall and breathtaking. Clearly a very spiritual place by the looks and for once, not destroyed by man's own Hand like many other beautiful things, but by Nature itself. A grim reminder that we are only here by geological consent.

This wonderful photo will be one to treasure along with all your other superb Nepal images. A little moment of magic up there - as an added interest, giving the feel of speed while the birds in flight.....

Super capture and thank for sharing the additional pics, Congrats
Best wishes

This picture is excellent in many regards: the composition is very well-balanced, the birds silhouette, which is blurred gives some motion to the picture. Last, but not least I like how the golden sunlight illuminate the top of the building.

Hi Kasia.
Excellent shot, this one, well composed, balancing the light and shade nicely, full of life, and benefiting enormously from the blurry birds, which you managed to capture before their forms were lost against the details of the magnificent 'lucky' temple. Thanks for the note and the WS.
Regards,
Andrew

very special the lower light with these many architectonic details in evidence. the temple is really beautiful and the presence of these personages are perfect adding life and local daily life. even the doves in the sky are perfect. TFS.
take care
